ABOUT LOCALICIOUS
Localicious Hawaii is a statewide public awareness campaign of HAF that runs annually from March 1st – 31st. First and foremost, the campaign recognizes restaurants for their commitment to supporting Hawaii’s local agricultural industry through marketing and promotional initiatives. Secondly, the campaign raises funds for ag education to promote careers in agriculture and the next generation of farmers, ranchers and fishermen.
Each Localicious Dish consists of a locally grown, caught or raised product and $1 from each purchase goes to the HAF for the benefit of ag education in Hawaii’s classrooms.
ABOUT STRIPSTEAK WAIKIKI
Presenting an evocative and modern twist on the classic American Steakhouse, lighter, small plates; healthier seafood options; and sushi sashimi, and poke; complement traditional steakhouse sides. The 8,600 square foot restaurant is located in the newly redeveloped International Market Place on the third level of the Grand Lanai featuring expansive indoor, open-air lanai seating. It has been a hit with tourists and locals alike.
